Tips te dry macular

Had anyone been seen at Basken Palmer in Miami

  1. I have an app on February. My husband had been seen there and they are excellent. I do know there is no cure for dry macular but wish to get the latest research.

    1. I was seen last week . I knew there was “some” macular. Actually the words Macular Degeneration was not used the last 2 years but drusums ( incorrect spelling ) . I will admire I did know what the D word was!
      Anyway he spoke that there was a definite change as I was 20/20, now 20/40 with left worse than right. He also spoke that eventually I won’t see my family faces…. That made me extremely sad
      I was in shock for a few days but I will take a pragmatic approach . You know what made me make the appointment? I thought my glasses were responsible ( couldn’t seem to get them clean enough especially the left eye! I stay in Naples during the winter so it will be maybe a 90 minute drive to Miami. Oh BTW BP has 24hour Emergency Department exclusively for eye emergencies.
      I hope my progression will be a slow one!

      1. Yes any information appreciated!
